Watch: Captain Planet returns to destroy humanity

Don Cheadle is back as everyone's favorite environmental superhero in this hilarious FunnyorDie.com sequel.

Back in summer 2011, comedy site FunnyOrDie.com presented the world with its unique take on the Captain Planet series. The short video featured Oscar nominated actor Don Cheadle as the environmental superhero helping the Planeteers - and going a bit haywire with his ability to turn evildoers into trees. In the end, he basically flips off the world, turns one of the sobbing Planeteers into a shrub, and flies away.

It was brilliant.

Yesterday, FunnyOrDie released a sequel with Cheadle once again suiting up, turning blue, and showing us a side to the Captain that bodes ill for humanity. Basically, he's become a supreme dictator of all things green and has started turning people not only into trees, but also rabbits, broccoli, manatees, etc. Even the Planeteers have been reduced to only one - Ma-Ti (Heart).

The site is promising a Part III, so we'll have to see if the Captain can be reasoned with not to wipe out humanity. Check out the video below.
